Modern Standard Arabic

Dar Loughat, your Arabic language school in Granada

To communicate with all the arabic speaking world

Dar Loughat Granada is the premier, independent Arabic language school of the city of Granada, offering a unique and affordable educational opportunity to international students of all ages since 2011. Our curriculum includes introductory, intermediate and advanced classes in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), as well as classes of “dialect”. These are divided into four regional dialects: Maghreb (North African) including Moroccan and Berber, Levantine Arabic, (Lebanon, Syria, Palestine), Iraqi/Arabian Gulf Arabic, and Egyptian Arabic (Egypt and the Sudan). Educated Arabic speakers often embellish their own dialect by using standard Arabic phrases. Our qualified teachers are native speakers from several Arab countries, reflecting the richness and plurality of the Arab world. They teach Arabic with all its various forms of pronunciation. However, we always recommend beginners start by learning the basics of MSA Arabic, before they progress to the more colloquial dialect of the regions of their choice.

Arabic is not as difficult as many people think. It’s just different. As an Afro-Asian language, both on a phonetic and phonological level, Arabic is a totally new world for non-Arabic speakers. Dar Loughat has developed a new method, based on the vocal sound, the repetition of the same sound and continued repetition of that sound!

Our students also benefit from 5 other great advantages!

Live classes

We accompany our students in the streets of the ancient Arab quarter of Albayzin, putting into practice what they were taught in the classroom. From the start, through our live classes, students are able to use their new language skills while strolling in the Albayzin. They converse about every day topics with new friends and acquaintances, learn the words for fresh local produce, taste special sweets, compare fragrant teas, and rapidly appreciate the natural generosity and kindness of the local Arab population.

Home-stay

We encourage students to take advantage of our affordable home-stay programs in Granada. In this way they can quickly absorb Arab culture directly from within and practice the language all the time. We know well all our Arabic speaking families who receive international students. They take a personal interest in the welfare of their guests, conversing with them in day to day Arabic inside the home. In this way, students are quickly able to pick up familiar words in regional dialects and practice MSA at the same time.
